Hi Comfortrn, You should apply for your IL license first, so you have that in hand when you apply for jobs in that state. A lot of facilities are reluctant to consider you if you don't have a license for that state already since there can be quite a ...

You can find the information you are seeking on their website. They have two programs, one for BSN RNs which is open to external candidates. The other one accepts Associate degree nurses, but is only open to internal candidates. At least this is my u...

Hi AZdreaming, Did your first interview take place at the time they initially contacted you? Have you had your second one yet? I believe the need for travel and seasonal nurses is based on the steep increase in the population during the winter months...

Hi Fourland and GonnaAmazeYou, Have either of you been contacted yet by anyone from Yuma? It was my understanding that they were doing interviews last Friday, today and tomorrow. That being said, it seems like time is running out...

I applied toward the end of June! How long did it take them to get back to you? When is your start date? Do you know what department you will be going into? Sorry for all the questions, but it has been difficult to find out additional information abo...

Did you apply for the Intern Postition in the ED? Have you been selected already? I applied, but that is as far as I got so far.

Hi Patty, I saw your post and had to reply. I too became a grandmother the same year I started nursing school. Not only that, I also hit the half century mark that year. Now, two years later my I passed my NCLEX three days prior to my granddaughter's...

I just took my NCLEX exam this week after graduating from a community college in early May. I, like many of you was totally freaked out about it and I must say, coming on this website and reading some of the posts made it worse rather than help to de...

Hi Monae2003, I used NCLEX 4000, the Saunders disc mainly for meds and SATA questions, Hogan and LaCharity. The learning extension was recommended by our instructor.

Thank you!

Congratulations! One week down, 14 or so more to go.... Don't worry, we all feel the same way after the first week. I am in Block 3 and I just want to cry...there is so much information and so little time. I try to remember that I felt the same way a...

I am at MCC and most of our clinical sites are in the East Valley. Block 3 uses Scottsdale Osborne and county as well. Those two are bit further away.

Hi Courtney, Check your e-mail. I sent you a message.

Hi Courts53 Do take all of your pre and co-reqs before starting nursing school if you can. You don't want to have to take those while in school or during your breaks. If you have time left take Patho. You can even take it between Block 1 and Block 2...

Courts53 and AZgirl84 Like I mentioned before, the schedule for Block1 is M/T/W/Th. You will be done earlier on Mondays and Tuesdays. 11:50 if you don't take Math and Review, 13:30 if you stay for those classes. Math is one Monday and Review is on Tu...

Congratulations! I am currently in Block 2 at Mesa and you all will love it. It is an intense program, but at the same time also a lot of fun. I remember being in your shoes last march and how excited I was to finally receive that long awaited e-mail...

Hi everyone, I am currently waiting to get into nursing school and was wondering how many of us mature students are out there. I recently turned 50 and I am feeling pretty good, in same ways better than I did in my younger years. However, I am not na...

I took Chem 130 with lab and PSY101 during the summer. Chem was certainly more challenging. We had class M/T/W/Th, Lecture all 4 days and labs 2 days. You will need to invest study time in the afternoons( if your classes are in the morning) but it ca...

Hi Sowinsis, You will be just fine. Don't let your age deter you. Fall of 2011 is not that far off anymore. I was on the waitlist for almost 2 years and it seemed forever to me as well. I finished Block 1 in December with an A and just started Block ...

Hi Crystal 74, I am currently in Block I at MCC. Our schedule is 0900-1150 M/T Lecture, 0730 - 1500 W/TR Lab. Clinicals start the third week of October and are either mornings 0630-1400 or afternoons 1400-2130. You also have the option to sign up for...

congratulations to all of you starting in january! i am currently in block 1 at mcc and it's great, scary, stressful and at times overwhelming. do get all of your tv watching in now, because there will be very little " goof off" time once school sta...

I know some that had a datestamp of 6/08 and they got in for spring 2010. Based on that you should have a good chance of getting placed next month. My date stamp was 10/08 and I got in this August. It's challenging, fun, amazing and scary all at the...

Hi Arizonagirl, I am currently taking an online class at Rio that allows for taking your midterm and final at home. All I can say is, don't be fooled into thinking that you can look up the answers in the book. I thought it would be a piece of cake. H...
